How Brazil fell out of love with its national team after Neymar scandals and Jair Bolsonaro links 🇧🇷 Even Brazil's famous yellow shirt has become a symbol of political upheaval in the country
, the opposition candidate who defeated Bolsonaro in the second round of voting, was asked about Neymar’s support for Bolsonaro, he quipped: “I think he’s scared that if I win the elections, I will know how much of his income tax debt Bolsonaro pardoned. Obviously Bolsonaro made a deal with his father.”
Casagrande, who was a notable figure in the movement to re-democratise Brazil that gained momentum towards the end of Brazil’s 1964-1985 military dictatorship, says that seeing players back Bolsonaro makes him “indignant.” “You can’t look at the yellow shirt of the national team and only see football,” Casagrande says. “[Bolsonaro supporters] are out on the streets in the yellow shirt calling for a military coup. The yellow shirt is being used by coup-mongers.”
